Bouquet Experience: B2B Matchmaking - flagship event by Hackapath

As part of the African Law & Tech Summit 2025, the Bouquet Experience, a flagship B2B matchmaking event curated by Hackapath, took place on May 14th, convening over 50 startups for one-on-one consultations with top-tier experts across the business support ecosystem.

Participants engaged with technical experts from organizations like Hackapath, Shield Tech Hub, Sand Studios, Garnet Partners, Illume, ALP NG & Co, CM Advocates, Trust Law Chambers, Innovation Spark, Tilah Africa, and the National Bank of Rwanda. These professionals provided tailored, practical guidance on essential topics, including legal structuring, investment readiness, branding, cybersecurity, tax, regulatory compliance, and market expansion strategy.

The 90-minute session was purposefully designed to give early-stage founders rare, direct access to specialized knowledge, often difficult to obtain yet critical for building resilient, investor-ready companies. Conversations were dynamic, focused, and high-impact, equipping startups with the tools and insights they need to formalize operations and scale sustainably.

The Bouquet Experience emerged as a standout part of the Summit, reaffirming the importance of intentional, cross-sector, and cross-border collaboration in strengthening Africa’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
